Carlyle House Historic Park is a museum and historic site situated in Alexandria, Virginia. The house was built in 1753 by Scottish merchant John Carlyle and is a fine example of Georgian residential architecture. The museum is located on North Fairfax Street, near the Potomac River waterfront. The house has been restored and furnished with period pieces, giving visitors a glimpse into the lifestyle of the wealthy Virginian elite in the 18th century.

The house has a rich history, having been occupied by British troops during the American Revolution and later serving as a hospital for Union soldiers during the Civil War. The museum offers guided tours of the house, where visitors can learn about the history of the Carlyle family, the role of Alexandria in the American Revolution, and the impact of the Civil War on the city.

Apart from the house, the park also features landscaped gardens, including a boxwood parterre garden, which is a replica of the original garden. Visitors can also explore the surrounding neighborhood, which is home to several other historic sites, including the Alexandria Black History Museum and the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum.

Overall, Carlyle House Historic Park is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning about the rich history of Alexandria, Virginia.
